The mere thought of walking into a mall and spending much time and money on a bra that could substitute as a pillow at times gives me shriveling in my bed!! But thanks to PrettySecrets for introducing me to all that Jazz in their website from the comfort of my Red couch, I’ve finally realized Bloggers infatuation with online shopping of lingerie.

One thing that is guaranteed when you buy lingerie online, is that it arrives in the loveliest and this one came in a pretty Pink Box I undid my ribbon-tied PrettySecrets box and carefully unfolded the tissue paper to this gorgeous cherry print Bra and a lovely green comfort fit padded bra. I went for them as both of them instantly caught my eye – the colours and the print looked amazing!

In smaller cities, like in my case, I find it incredibly difficult to find lingerie that is sexy and well fitting. So most of the times, I have to choose one of the two (I'll leave you to ponder which). So when asked if I'd like to review Pretty Secrets Lingerie Collection, I jumped at the chance. As told above, I opted for Padded Bras in beautiful colors and Prints which seems just perfect for Gloomy Winter days ahead.

In terms of the fit, everything was held in perfectly, the style looks classy and the subtle padding added a little extra oomph. The cup is perfect and leaves nothing out or to the side. The straps are thick but not too thick which is perfect for most of the strappy dresses in my wardrobe. It pushes the girls up and out and that is the number one thing I look for in a great bra!I was a bit worried about the underwired (cherry print Bra) inside the cups but I am so looks-orientated that this set definitely won me over. The whole look is quite over-the-top, in a good way of course, as the plunge shape creates a descent cleavage and the design is quite eye-catching. The fabric is quite thick so be sure to match this bra with something not-so-clingy!\

I completely adored the lingerie arsenal of Prettysecrets which is stuffed with frills, lace, color and all kinds of embellishments , prints and comfortable lingerie at the same time, not to forget the designs are equally appealing. Each category have a select few pieces that are classy, elegant and most importantly, they all manage to retain a completely unique feel.

I hope you liked my review and will be looking into Prettysecrets for your next lingerie shopping – they are a great option if you fall into their size range and are looking for a good push-up bra with a lovely fit. If you fancy yourself a very own set from Prettysecrets, I would suggest you look here and find your perfect set! Always Remember always wear the best of the lingerie even if you are the only one who's gonna see them !!

Let’s talk makeup today. Yeah I know its one of the rarest things you can expect me to talk about as I don’t wear makeup on a daily basis, and a “full face,” is never my preferred look. If I need to toss on some makeup quickly, I just use a handful of products to even me out and call it a day. So basically my approach to beauty products is pretty low maintenance but I do like to occasionally invest in a handful of quality products that helps me put up a natural look for a day out.

And the product we are talking about today is BB creams and I think its very important to find your perfect match as its the one product that goes all over your and therefore its the most important element to your look. I was sent two BB creams of different brands for a comparison and making a personal choice after review ( which is pretty much the toughest job for a non-makeup user like me) but since I had already tried and experimented with both the products , the task became pretty easy for me. On my recent hunts for different BB creams, I tried Garnier BB cream and according to me the texture is slightly thicker and takes much effort to blend into your skin , giving it a cakey look on application. After a while, it also starts to break down a little with the natural oils of my skin and makes it feel greasy and unbreathable. So definitely its not one of my Preferred product.

For me, my perfect match BB cream, is the one which covers the entire complexion spectrum in a few strategic swipes and adds a little brightness and evenness to the complexion without the feeling of a face full of makeup. And it must be incredibly easy to apply – no extra effort needed. And hands down to Ponds White Beauty BB cream for doing a solid job, giving me nice opaque coverage without looking heavy. It blends like a dream giving my entire face a seamless and smooth finish. I have a pretty oily skin so I definitely need to apply some powder to keep it sweat and oil proof for a longer duration but this one does not breaks down or feels heavy on my skin even after 4-5 hours. The best part being it comes with SPF 30 and PA++ protection and is very affordable too.

Have you found your Perfect Match Yet? Let me know in the comments which BB Cream is your personal Favorite.

Motherhood is a beautiful life- changing experience but it often comes with some guilt's attached. It feels really silly admitting it but often I find myself guilty about anything and everything- to begin with I'm just not 'good enough' as a mother!!

Being a mother, you become vulnerable to the world around you and easily fall into the trap of comparing yourself with other so called 'perfect mums' in and around you ,who keep a spotless house being impeccably groomed at the same time, goes out on weekends with husband and is raising perfect kids. And all of a sudden everyone seems to be 'more together' than you and have a 'balanced motherhood' but believe me it is impossible to be doing all this and retain your sanity at the same time. Things do fall apart at some stage and some of us may be better at the act of juggling and balancing things up than others. But truthfully, we are all muddling along down this path of motherhood, we might just be at different stages. And if someone still tells you that Supermom's do exist, 'they are lying big time' .

Comparison has always been the thief of joy and when we get lost in comparing ourselves to others we can lose sight of who we are and what makes as special and unique as a person and more importantly as a mother.

It's really 'OK' to Put off the Saturday morning housework so you can cuddle in bed with your husband a little longer while your baby naps. Take a break from the routine cooking and cleaning work, order your favorite food and spend some time with your kids. Its ok to sleep a little late and perfectly ok to take a break from' being a mom'. Its time to keep aside all the stereotypes and create your own 'brand of Motherhood'.

What it all comes down to is how you feel about yourself. If you are happy with how you look and the life that you live—fantastic! Don’t change a thing. Just remember, you don’t have to follow a set stereotyped rules to be a good mother. Parenting cannot be taught or learned, it comes naturally to everyone out of their own experiences. You can always choose to get inspired by other mothers to become a better version of yourself but never fall down that rabbit hole of comparison. Everyone has their own journey, their own strengths and passions, that’s what makes them who they are and you who you are. So embrace yours and be the mother that you are meant to be and empower those around you to do the same.Goodness knows being a woman is tough enough as it is; why are we making it harder on ourselves by comparing and thinking we should be more like someone we were not created to be? Let’s complement each other and lift each other up in this beautiful journey called motherhood!

While I sit back and have my third cup of adrak wali chai, take a break 'mommy' and enjoy the outfit pictures.
